Here’s what Derik has to say about his newly acquired Vibram Five Fingers KSO Treks and Flows:

My first pair of VFF’s! I received them in the mail about 3 weeks ago and was anxious to hit the gym and treadmill with them. I searched everywhere here in Omaha, Nebraska to find a place that had my style and size in stock. I even called many stores in Texas so my parents could pick them up and bring them to me when they came up to visit. Luckily I found these in Lincoln, Nebraska and had them sent up to Omaha.

I have enjoyed everything about them and will not go back to normal shoes during any of my training sessions. There is something wonderful about training in my VFF’s! I enjoyed them so much that I had to look for another pair that I could use during my everyday normal activities … including during work at the office.

I added the KSO Trek to my collection last weekend and have worn them everyday to work. This pic was taken on a casual dress day but I have worn them with my slacks and enjoy getting the weird looks and questions that follow. I have worn these barefoot but lately been going with injinji socks since its negative degrees outside here. The added traction of the trek helps a ton when going to the store or checking my mail. The flows didnt do much for walking on ice and I almost lost it a few times.

Thanks for the user review, Derik! That extra traction from the KSO Treks definitely helps on icy sidewalks and streets. Just this past weekend I had a chance to test my Flows on snow and frozen icy sidewalks; they handled fine though my toes got pretty cold!

Anyway, glad you’re enjoying your FiveFingers so much, Derik! Once it warms up a bit, you may need to pick up a pair of standard KSOs or Classics! Seems you can’t have too many pairs of Vibrams.

Nice to see the ff at the office. I always enjoy the conversation ff can bring up. I wear mine on the college campus, and people stop me almost every day to ask me about them. Also nice to see the Flows out and about. Keep up the FF love!!!

I must say I really enjoy my FF KSO Treks. Slap on a pair of wool Injinji socks and away I go on the trails. They really help giving just that little extra bit of protection when running on the trails.

I am also able to wear mine to work, and switch between the black KSO and now my KSO Trek.

I am a chef who works 16 hour days sometimes, i really like the idea of VFF’s but was hesitant to buy them for the kitchen. anyone know of any chefs that wear these??
